Qi Yun saw Wen Renzheng's unhappy face and guessed Li Zheng's identity.
Just now I heard that Renzheng kept saying that the things Li Zheng wanted to mention were matters within the court, so Li Zheng must be a court official to have access to the internal affairs of the Dalong Dynasty.
Li Zheng respectfully referred to Wen Renzheng as his mentor. It is understood that Wen Renzheng had only two real disciples. One of them was Tong Sansi, the right minister of the Dalong Dynasty. His surname was Li and he was from the capital. His identity was not disclosed. And metaphor.
Qi Yun's face suddenly became ugly. She first looked at Li Zheng with a kind face in surprise, and then looked at Liu Mingzhi with worry, who didn't know how to talk. She wanted to remind him, but the old man behind Li Zheng stared at Qi coldly. Yun made Qi Yun dare not reveal Li Zheng's identity easily.
Qi Yun could only pray that Liu Mingzhi would not commit suicide and be smarter. If Li Zheng was displeased, Liu Mingzhi's father, Liu Zhi'an, would be of no use not to mention tens of thousands of dollars of wealth.
Li Zheng was really furious because of Liu Mingzhi's nonsense. The Liu family must be destroyed. It should be said that being destroyed is the best outcome. It is not impossible for the family to be destroyed.
"Brother Liu, since Mr. Li wants to give you a test, you must carefully respond to Mr. Li's correct answers and not be willful."
Is Liu Mingzhi stupid? Of course he is not stupid, but very smart. First he heard Renzheng's sudden change of expression, and then Qi Yun's careful instructions. Liu Mingzhi understood one thing in an instant. Li Zheng's identity was not simple. He might be a Beijing official, and he was A high-ranking official in the capital.
Regret, Liu Mingzhi suddenly felt a little regretful. He regretted that he shouldn't have talked nonsense, and he agreed to Li Zheng's words without knowing the importance. He just hoped that it was not too late to make up for the situation.
"Sir, this young man has little talent and little knowledge. Just like Mr. Wen Renshan said, he is not even qualified to be a civil servant. If I answer your question later, if there are any shortcomings, I hope you will be respectful and don't be as knowledgeable as this young man."
Li Zheng noticed Liu Mingzhi's change and smiled softly: "Young Master Liu, don't be so cautious. I'm just chatting with you. To be honest with you, I heard about your remarks in the school earlier and felt that you It's very interesting. If you have some questions, don't be so deliberate, just say what you want."
Li Zheng said very implicitly, and Liu Mingzhi became more and more uneasy: "Then please give me some advice, sir. I will tell you everything I know."
Wen Renzheng wanted to say something else, but after listening to the two people's words, he knew that it was already done and it was too late to say anything.
Li Zheng thought for a while before speaking loudly: "The Dulu tribe in the northern grassland sent an envoy to Beijing to see our emperor, requesting an edict in the hope that our emperor could confer the title of king on the leader of the Dulu tribe. However, the year before last, the Dulu tribe united with the Shi Bi tribe and their More than a dozen tribes, large and small, invaded Yingzhou City in the northern border of our Dragon Dynasty, robbed property, killed my subjects, and destroyed our city-state. This is a deep hatred, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the hatred of the country and the family."
"So the officials in the imperial court are in a stalemate about whether to award rewards or not, and they can't make up their minds for a while, right?" Liu Mingzhi understood something and consciously raised it.
Li Zheng was a little surprised when he was interrupted by Liu Mingzhi. After hearing Liu Mingzhi's words, he nodded slightly and then waved his hand to signal Liu Mingzhi to continue.
Liu Mingzhi hesitated for a moment: "Since the issue of whether to award a reward or not is in a stalemate, it must be that the issue of whether to award a reward or not has not been fully discussed. In my opinion, the officials who agreed to award the reward were worried that if they vetoed the Du Lu Department's request for the award, , the Duolu tribe will definitely be resentful, thinking that the Dalong Dynasty despises their tribe, and will definitely not let it go. At this time, the Jin Kingdom will definitely hinder it. After all, the Jin Kingdom has always been eyeing our Dalong Dynasty, and if the ambition of the wolf is obvious, it will definitely The leader of the Luduolu tribe is looking for trouble in the Great Dragon Dynasty, right?"
"Yes, you are talking about the concerns of the ministers who agreed to the reward. If the Jin Kingdom and the various grassland ministries join forces, our country will be in danger, and we will have to pay a high price."
"Those ministers who do not grant rewards are worried that if they are granted the title of king, the Duolu tribe will have an excuse to annex other tribes in the grassland. The tribes will grow stronger and eventually breed tigers. Moreover, the title of the king of the Dulu tribe is our emperor's reward. Yes, annexing various tribes will definitely lead to mountains of bones and rivers of blood. Therefore, those tribes that are unable to resist the Dulu tribe will inevitably transfer their hatred to our Dalong Dynasty. In this way, our dynasty will take a bite out of the Dulu tribe. A scapegoat, and a scapegoat that cannot be explained, after all, the king of the Duolu tribe was indeed rewarded by my emperor."
Li Zheng was still nodding his head when he listened to Liu Mingzhi's words before. He didn't expect that this guy had such knowledge and could analyze the worrying situation of the court ministers clearly and logically. However, the more he listened to it, the darker his face became. Of course, it was not because he was angry at Liu Mingzhi's words. Anger was the result of Liu Mingzhi's words.
Li Zheng's intention was to reward the Dulu tribe, because that would cause the tribes in the grassland to fall into civil strife and have no time to take into account the situation of the Dalong Dynasty. Even if the Dulu tribe unified the surrounding tribes, the people of those tribes would not be able to do so. He will return home, but he will have a different heart towards the Dulu tribe who destroyed his own tribe, making the grassland unable to stabilize.
But Liu Mingzhi's words awakened Li Zheng. Liu Mingzhi was indeed right. The king of the Duolu tribe was awarded by the Great Dragon Dynasty. The resentment of the annexed tribes will only become more resentful to the Great Dragon Dynasty. It will encourage all grassland ministries to focus on the outside world and give the people of the mainland an opportunity to use their hearts.
After thinking about this, Li Zheng looked at Liu Mingzhi carefully and asked seriously: "Master Liu, do you think the Dulu tribe should be enfeoffed or not?"
